I’m so honored to have Johnny Quinn in the studio. Believe it or not, I first interviewed him more than ten years ago on The Jeff Crilley Show back when we were broadcasting at iHeart down the street. He’s become a legendary speaker and coach, and today he’s sharing some incredible wisdom and insight with us.

I love featuring nonprofits on the show because I always learn so much from the people behind them. Kari-Ann Melendez is in the studio today. She is the founder and president of the Adapt-Able Foundation, and I can’t wait to hear more about the impact they’re making in the community.

I’ve always had a heart for the homeless. My father, Dr. Robert Howard Crilley, led a downtown Detroit ministry where he fed the homeless and became a true voice for them. And the truth is, homelessness can happen faster than people realize. Elisabeth Jordan, CEO and founder of The Human Impact, is here to talk about that reality and the work being done to restore dignity and hope.

I think it’s unfortunate that many families spend more time talking about dinner plans or what movie to watch than they do talking about money. Financial literacy should start around the dinner table. That’s why I’m excited to welcome Kim Scouller and Christa Mathews, authors of the bestselling series HowMoneyWorks.

Dr. Shikhar Tomur is in the studio today. He’s considered one of the top plastic surgeons in North Texas, and we’re going to talk about the latest trends in cosmetic procedures, the impact social media and video culture are having on confidence, and how modern plastic surgery is evolving to help people look and feel their best.

I love the mortgage and real estate industry because when the national media talks about housing, they’re usually not talking about Texas — and especially not Dallas-Fort Worth. While some parts of the country are slowing down, North Texas continues to attract businesses, families, and major growth. In fact, several of the fastest-growing cities in America are right here in Texas, and many of them are in the DFW area. 

So what does that mean for buyers, sellers, and investors right now? We’re going to talk about the market, mortgage trends, and where things are headed with my next guest. Jax Crider is in the studio. She is the managing partner of PBJ Mortgage.

I love featuring entrepreneurs on this show, and I’m thrilled to welcome Timothy Ballard to the studio today. He owns several companies as part of a successful family-owned business, and we’re excited to hear the story behind his entrepreneurial journey and what it takes to build and grow a business with family at the center.

As a marketing agency, we love featuring people who are truly operating at the top of their game. And in the marketing world, pricing is all over the map. You can head to Madison Avenue and pay Madison Avenue prices, or you can find incredible talent right here in McKinney. That’s why we’re excited to welcome the founder Erin Williams of Maple & Maverick Branding and Marketing Agency to the show today!

I think you’ll agree with me: there’s a leadership crisis in a lot of companies today. Young professionals are being promoted faster than ever, and suddenly they’re leading teams filled with people who may be their parents’ age.

So what does it really take to earn respect, build trust, and become a truly fantastic leader?

We’re going to find out from the great Gary Gregory.

Insurance is one of those things you hope you never need — until the moment you do. On this episode of The Jeff Crilley Show, John Crist, president of Prestizia Insurance and author of The Prestizia Protection Playbook, shares why having the right coverage can make all the difference when life takes an unexpected turn. From protecting families to preparing for the unknown, this conversation is packed with practical advice every homeowner and business owner should hear.
